Obtaining DMV Records

Driver/Vehicle Transcripts (Record Request)

Need a copy of your driving record? With Record
Request, you can view your driver or vehicle transcript and/or have it mailed to you. Transcripts that are
mailed are considered official copies and can be certified for an additional fee. The fee charged varies depending
on whether the transcript is to be viewed and/or mailed, and certified.

License Reinstatement Information (Compliance Summary)

Use the Compliance Summary to
find out the specific information necessary to have your Virginia driver and/or registration privileges
reinstated. The information includes:

Outstanding fees owed to DMV

Documentation required

Dates of any active suspension and/or revocation period

Pending requirements on outstanding suspensions/cancellations

Contact information to other entities, such as courts

DISCLAIMER: The compliance summary is not an official transcript of a person's driving record. It is a courtesy summary designed to assist in complying with the requirements associated with orders of revocation, suspension, disqualification or cancellation as of the date listed at the top of the compliance summary. To provide the court and other entities with detailed information on a person's driving history, the compliance summary should be accompanied by a driver transcript.

Vehicle History Reports

If you are planning to buy a used car, you should know that car's history. DMV's Prospective Purchaser Inquiry (PPI) provides information about the vehicle, including the odometer reading at time of titling, any special notes about water damage or demolition status, and any accident history. The PPI summary comes from Virginia DMV records only and does not contain personal information about the vehicle's previous owners.
